Pros

The people who work here are some of the kindest, hardest working people I've had the pleasure of working with. I can deal with any stress or hardship because I have a wonderful team of coworkers who help me out in a heartbeat.

Cons

We are not paid nearly enough. We've recently had an expansion to our hospital building. Our budgets have been cut, so we don't have enough staff, but we are given more case loads and are expected to keep up. We are written up if we get any kind of overtime not previously approved, even if we were taking care of a patient or family. Our doctors and nurses are overworked and stressed out. We've been told we need to do 20% more with 20% less. Seems like the perfect equation for burnout.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review about your time working for Mercy. Feedback is very important for us, especially in the growing healthcare business, as it helps us make sure co-workers have a way to share their concerns and suggestions with us, and we take everything we receive externally and internally very seriously. Our continued message of "20% more with 20% less" does not mean "how can we work harder?" but instead, "how can we work smarter?" Health care is a high-pressure career, and we understand it can have a variety of impacts on your well-being. Mercy has taken initiatives to relieve this pressure by offering resources and tools to our co-workers. If you have any additional feedback to share, we encourage you to email us at mercyrecruitmentfeed@mercy.net. Thank you for providing us with your feedback!

Pros

Flexible schedules. There were always opportunities to pick up extra shifts.

Cons

Working as a patient care technician was mentally, physically, and emotionally draining. The nurses were not helpful and actually quite lazy. Management showed no appreciation for employees. The pay is HORRIBLE for the amount of work you are doing. I chose this position for experience in the nursing field while in school and after a few months of working at Mercy i chose to pursue another career path. The last straw was working this job while pregnant and there was no type of help from management or staff to accommodate patients where i could not. Management made my pregnancy feel like an inconvenience. Insurance premiums are also unreasonable.
